Re: Whose panties did NewsSource get in a wad now? As I mentioned multiple times, it was deleted by the mods and there is no public record of it. I still have the resulting PM exchange with the mods, and Denny, but not the original post. BNM
Re: Whose panties did NewsSource get in a wad now? I have no problem talking about all of this, I'm not here to be a secret all powerful overlord. 1) After his last banning the majority of the mod staff did not want to allow PapaG back. Denny and I wanted to find a way to bring him back but only if he wouldn't get so riled up at times. We had the dinner for the winners of the creative contest coming up. The prize was dinner for 4, HCP, BlazerWookee, HomerLovesKoolAid and myself. I thought this would have been a great environment to have met and talked with PapaG. So I contacted him outside of this forum and gave him my free dinner. I know all of these guys, they're really great guys and this would have been the perfect time and place to talk with PapaG like a real person and not just the anonymous blowhards that we are online. Unfortunately PapaG had to cancel at the very last moment. Now, I don't agree with or understand the comparison of PapaG and Mixum. Mixum trolled the forum to provoke arguments and fights. Now PapaG when he is not arguing and fighting with someone is a very passionate and knowledgeable Blazer fan. They are not the same creature. This forum is for Blazer fans. I wanted to see if there was way to make it work for PapaG because we all know he loves this team. I made this argument to the staff and I said we should allow him back. At the same time it was agreed upon and I made it very clear to PapaG that the behavior that had gotten him into trouble and banned in the past had to stop. No ifs, ands or buts. The insults, the arguments, everything. I even suggested to him that he stay away from the OT section and just post in the main forum because he does get a little more worked up in the off topic section than he does the regular forum (yes, with the exception of LMA trades, lol). Last night: It doesn't matter who started what or who said what first, the fact is PapaG was having huge arguments in two different threads with two different people when he very clearly knew that he was not suppose to do that anymore. I asked him publicly to stop, I asked him privately to stop. You can see I tried to just have a normal conversation with him in hope that he would stop arguing but he was having none of it. I spoke privately with Denny and he and I decided to but an end to it. 2) Permanent Ban. That was his last last last chance. 3) We compare new accounts when we see them to IP addresses used by past and current members. If we see that he is posting on here under an IP address that he has used before we will ban that moniker. If he gets a new IP address we really have no idea if that is or is not PapaG. We're not going to start instantly banning all new monikers like Fez wanted us to do during the Timberwolf fan Oden dic pic invasion. If you think someone is PapaG bring it to our attention and we will look into it but don't be disappointed if that new person isn't instantly banned. In summary, I really wanted it to work. I like PapaG, I don't like his need to fucking argue and argue but I've had some great conversations with him publicly and privately over the years. I wanted this to work bad enough that I was willing to give up a free dinner and I love free dinners at nice restaurants.

Re: Whose panties did NewsSource get in a wad now? No IP ban for teh Papa. Could hit unintended targets. Otherwise, carry on.
Re: Whose panties did NewsSource get in a wad now? YOU'RE RIGHT HOW ELSE CAN NATE BISHOP POST FROM THE BUSHES BEHIND PAPA G HOUSE
Re: Whose panties did NewsSource get in a wad now? I remember that thread, and I knew he'd be a no-show because of the following history. After arranging meetings on this board about 5 times in the last couple of years, he never showed up once. Everytime the host was excited when Papa said he'd be there; then the person posted in disappointment that Papa hadn't shown; only then did Papa acknowledge in the thread his absence the previous day. He cancelled at the last moment a couple of times in a thread (like 1 hour notice), but usually his habit was to surprise with his absence. At one event, he said that he'd gone for a minute, stayed near the door, and hadn't talked to anyone. Everyone there posted that they hadn't seen him. I kept track of this pattern because on ESPN, he used to belittle me for not going to meetings (I live in Bellingham). We'd debate about some issue and suddenly he'd get personal with that tool in his arsenal. I guess I'm the only one he ever got personal with...
Re: Whose panties did NewsSource get in a wad now? I saw nothing wrong with what he said in either thread maybe there was something worse that got deleted.
Re: Whose panties did NewsSource get in a wad now? You're right! I was being extremely racist because mine was Chinese.
Re: Whose panties did NewsSource get in a wad now? The second one was on papag. I feel like the first one was too. No one asked him, or forced him to say any of it.
Re: Whose panties did NewsSource get in a wad now? May I have the free dinner since PapaG declined it?
Re: Whose panties did NewsSource get in a wad now? Sly, what level of food was this? Can you describe the probable mouth-watering dinner you would have partooken? Any wine? Or was it at a greasy spoon?
